Editor Bulletin:
Dear Slr:-KnOwing you to be
a friend to the people Of the 18th
civil dist of Hardeman County and
always glad to know and hear of
their advancement for god, Iwrlte
this letter that you and your many
readers may see and know what las
been done in the past three weeks,
AID to God be all the praise We
have Just closed two protra cted
meetings at CrainesvilI, the first at
tire M. E Church South, under the
management of Bro Jas. S. Carl.
Where W. hld seventeen convert S
and ten accessiens 90 the church and
the church greatly revived, The
other at the Missionary Baptist
church where there were nine con-
verts and 81 accessions to the
church and the church greatly re .
vlved this meeting was conduct
ed by Elder VIM Jordan, who is
their pastor, and assisted by Elders
@. @. Mcdaniel, John Huddleston,
U. A. d John West, and to show
to your readers that we have beon
moved, we have instituted a series
of Prayer Meetings, to meet ter
nately, at the above named churches
weekly, where we propose To meet
together and work together for tn e
good of our community at
large. And further more we are
working Tor the moral good of our
people, that is we are working for
Prohibition, and right here l will
say 20 all the young converts, IN
the state Of Tennessee, and to the
older members Of the different church
es, to work hard for Prohibition from
now until four o'clock on the 10Th
day OF Sopt 1887 and if we should
be so unfortunate, as to lose Pro-
hibitron on the 29th, commence
work again with renewed energy,
and now few words to my Bro
Wheelers through out the state Of
Tenn and I will ose Brethren you
know that our motto Is to pull down
and destroy every combination IN our
land, let us not stop until we have
driven whisky 50 tan from us that
our children viii not know what it
IS whom they become men and wO-
men; for is is one of the biggest com
binations we have IN our country.
BY the combined effort Of the
church and State Wheel, we will
carry tile amendment on the 29th,
don't you forget it. Let
us work together for this amend'
ment. Very res. ectfully yours,
MORAL CRANK.
The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1887-09-09

the mendment is of a three-fold
nature-viz: political, social and
moral As moral. question
it is emInently proper that its do
main be occupied by the ministers
of the gospel; as a social question by
all the philanthroplsts; as a political
question by all patriots. We as
sert that the principles involved in
this proposed Amendment in no
wise conflict with religious liberty,
so dear to Baptists, and with gener~
al personal liberty. We suggest
that 1t is hardly practicable or pos
sible for any one to be good tenn
perance man and oppose thls Amend
msnt. STACY LORD,

Last Wednesday afternoon a horse
belonging to Nuckolls' livery stable
was tied to carpenters horse in
fr ont Of tie stable By some means
he became frightened and dashed
up Main st. through court square,
carrying with him IN mis- wild leaps
the carpenters horse When he
reached the court house fence, he
took along the pavement. Several
parties were standing on the outside,
leaning against the fence. Terror
seized them. and each made a fran.
tic leap to Gear the iron fence for
protection. They all succeeded in
getting over. But when the excite
ment had abated, the seat of pants
pants legs, and coat tails could be
seen hanging all along. The horse
choked down against the fence,
without any serious lnjurY.

The Physicians have Found out

That a contaminating and foreign ele-
M INT in the blood, developed by indiges
ton, is the cause of rheumatisM. This
settles up1u the sensitive sub-cutaneous
covering of the muscles ana IigamentS Of
the Joints, causing constant and shifting
pain, and aggregating a a calcareOus,
chaIky deposit which produces stiffness
and distortion Of the joints. No fact which
experience has demonstrated in regard to
nostetter's Stomach Bitter5 has stronger
evidence to support than this, namely,
that this medicine of comprehensive uses
checks the formula BILE ard atrocious dis
ca .,. Nor is it less positively astablishe ed
nat it l. pre- ferable to the loisons ofte n
used to arrest it, since the medicine con-
tains only salutAry ingredients. 1t is also

was coming into town and in crossing
Officer Meeley's lot which has no fence
around it, he passed near the house
when a large dog which was chained
jumped and barked at him and a small
er one ran towords him. Williams
pulled revolver. Mr.. Meelcy was at
home and his little glrl said "Look
out, papa. that man is going to shoot
youw The man did not shoot AID the
officer following overlook him
at Mr.. Martinez place on Main street.
Here Williams gave up his revolver to
some one in the store. The officer ar
rested Williams. The case came up
this morning. Williams defense was
that it was a borrowed pistol and he
was returning the same to the owner
but the mayor held that admitting that
to be true, he made undue Lcmonstra-
tions and he should fine him S25.
